Comments on: “Cone of silence,” my foot! http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/08/18/cone-of-silence-my-foot/ Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."

Nothing seems to get their dandruff up better than a good French reference. Yea, I know, I just thought I’d throw some raw meat out to the knuckle draggers.

Yes, Obama is a Christian but you do not see or hear his campaign referring to him as \"Barack Obama, Christian\" everytime they have the opportunity. Do not discount the effectiveness of this method - the power of suggestion and the emotions evoked re: Vietnam and the POW/MIA issue is very profound. Look for the visual equivalent of this big time during the Repub convention.

The world is about 3 decades ahead of you. Even Warren admits the audience was conservative for this country. Kaus, there is no problem with going to a Christian church for questioning and both candidates have already addressed religious groups dozens of times. My beef is that this one forum, run by a single paster from a single church which is not at all representative of religion in the USA is given prime time network status and covered as THE religious forum of the campaign. It's the media's fault as much as Warren's for falling for his publicity ploy.
